This is the long overdue study of the Frankfurt School and Cultural Marxist philosophy which now controls Western intellectualism, politics, and culture. It was by design; it was created by an internationalist intelligentsia to eradicate Western values, social systems, and European racial groups in a pre-emptive attempt to spark global, communist (think liberal) revolution. Andrew Breitbart's historical notes are taken into the narrative.

The ambient noise in the background is too annoying to listen to this diatribe.

Every tribe, every civilization, has internal and external opponents. Cry me a river already! If your way of life is good enough, you don't have to worry about keeping people in, just keeping people out!

Except, "Western Culture" is arguably at the strongest it has been post-Colonialism. We are living in the most peaceful age in human history, technology is flourishing, many countries have adopted more and more secular and progressive legislation and cultural norms in imitation of us, real issues such as race and gender are working their way to the forefront where they might actually be truly and completely addressed, "culture" in terms of art, music and other media is perhaps the most vibrant and diverse it has ever been... really the only declines that can be pointed at are the elections of bigots and fools like Trump, Theresa May, Nigel Farage, Geert Wilders, Goodfrey Bloom, etc. who want to destroy everything "Western Culture" has stood for for decades; technological progress, economic stability, unity with our neighbours and freedom regardless of race or religion. These men and women have actively called for more racism, more intolerance, and more laws that target people specifically because of their race and religion, as well as pass laws that actively hurt the people at the benefit of the corporation, and that is single handedly the greatest threat to "Western Culture"... the people you quote, the people you support, and the people who follow these hateful relics of a time that should have passed 100 years ago.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité... this sums up Western Culture perfectly. Frankly, you have no voice to talk about, "the decline of Western Civilization" since you have never indicated you have respect for the three core values of it. It's like a man lamenting the abolishion of segregation as bringing about, "The end of America as we know it!" or pastors who cry that allowing gays to marry will destroy marriage.

Every tribe, every civilization, has internal and external opponents. Cry me a river already! If your way of life is good enough, you don't have to worry about keeping people in, just keeping people out!

What?

"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool" --- Richard P. Feynman

You said "are" not "should be". "are" is empirical and it takes honesty to see that. Most people are liars, idealists ... but liars. What "should be" is ... everybody gets a pony. But I don't like lying like that.

We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the young for a long long time."PZ Myers

The architects of Western decline: the Republicans, the Conservatives, and the rest of those fascist scumbags. Trump, May, Putin, Erdogan and the rest of the fascists are taking a sledgehammer to the West.
